Gamma Jet Asymmetry Projections

This analysis uses the prompt-photon PYTHIA+ GEANT simulations to determine the errors on gamma-jet asymmetries and  DeltaG for an input of 50 pb-1 and polarization = 60%.&nbs

Using the pi0 sample to estimate the amount of material in front of the endcap

Abstract -- We look at the mean energy deposited in the 1st preshower layer above the higher energy gamma in a sample of isolated, reconstructed pi0 decays. 
 
 

SMD Residuals

First, here is a quick review of the cuts applied so far (numbered so that they correspond to the plot of the number of hits that survive each cut):

Sided Residuals etc

 I fixed a bug with the way I was assembling the SMD clusters - it was essentially getting only the left part of the cluster correct, and immediately dying on the right, meaning that if the hi

I've posted some pages detailing my neutral strange particle transverse asymmetry

Background conversion probability using identified pi0 sample

Abstract:  Using identified p0 decays we measure the conversion probability for the jet background in the photon sample which passes the CPV cut.

STAR femtoscopy slides for 2008 Users Meeting

Hello,

     Here (see the attached powerpoint file) are some slides/plots suggested for inclusion in the 2008 RHIC/AGS Users' Meeting talk which Tom Trainor will give.
